Yes, you read that right and it isn’t a typo, this is a recipe from my Gammy, not Grammy. 🙂 I am not sure why, but we called my grandmother ‘Gammy’. It may have been a carryover from my older cousins, I suppose! My mother used to make these turkey legs in the crock pot, and I found out recently that the sauce was a recipe from my grandmother. Unfortunately, my grandmother has not been around for many years, but she was a wonderful, warm, funny lady. I think I was about 12 when she died, but I have some really cool memories of her, mostly of the card games she used to play with my siblings and me! She especially loved to play Hearts with us.
